“…The glass formation tendency of melts from the JSC-1 and JSC-1A lunar soil simulants and characterization of the glasses prepared from these simulants using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), differential thermal and thermo-gravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), chemical analysis for composition by inductively coupled plasma atomic absorption spectroscopy (ICP-AES), EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopy have been reported previously [9,10]. The present work which is an extension of the previous work [9,10], reports measurements of selected important properties, namely, thermal diffusivity (α), thermal conductivity (K), and heat capacity (C) for the glass prepared from JSC-1A lunar soil simulant, so as to make the property data base for this important glass broader and comprehensive.…”
